OUR GREATEST MONOPOLY.
How the PennsyIvanla OIL Operators are
Being Bankrupted.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a special TO the
World from Pittsburg says: In few
days the Pennsylvania oil fields will be
virtually Idle. The producers are bank
rupt and will shut off productions SIS q
last and desperate CHARGE Of relief.
Regions that have produced millions OF
dollars worth Of petroleum are to-day
little better of than if the golden fluid
had never been discovered. oheri6's
sales are the most conspicuous signs
everywhere. The splendid residences
that were built by lucky oil seekers in the
psImy days before 'S5 are the only indi
cations that prosperity once abided with
the oil products. Even these are sadly
out of repair and the once fortunate
owner who found the rcomy mansion
too small for his swollen wealth now
discovers he has white elephant on his
hands and is content to occupy two or
three rooms OF the dwelling, letting out
the remainder to dodgers. Men who
formerly had an income Of S25, 500 or
$500 day for the wells now get labor
ers wages. Many Of the largest pro-
ducers are running their wells at loss.
Hundreds of drillers, tool dressers,
bumpers and rig carpenters are out CT
work because almost no new wells are
going down, and those now IN operation
are worked in an economical manner.
Wages have not been so low since oil
was discovered. II this depression con-
tinues for six months those still
engaged in the oil business will
quit it, as msny hundreds have already
done. Speculation, too, is paralyzed.
The spectators have learned by sad ex-
perience that owing to the excessive
storage charges, they must clear % per
cent. on their trades to come out even
With the operator and driller they are
engaging in other pursuits. The
magnificent Western Pennsylvania ex-
changes erected in the halycon days of
dollar oil are now little attended, and il
the vast emptiness an occasional bid
der is startled ct the sound Of his own
voice. The consumer for yesr has been
paying to the Standard Oil Company for
refined oil one-third more than il would
! cost il the production snd manufacture
Of oil followed the natural laws. The
consumer has enriched the great oil
monopoly more than the producer, but
/ because the hand OF eXtortion is laid
lightly upon him individually, De does
not feel il. a few cents q week from
each consumer makes millions CT
dollars for the Standard. With
no expense whatever, the Standard
in 1876 put up the price
OF refined oil from Is to 80 cents per gal
Ion, and in 1880 it raised the price from
to y cents. In both cases the purchas-
ing price of crude oil remained the same
The Standard buys at its own price anC
sells at its own price. Other commodi
ties are cornered occasionally, but oil il
in chronic state of corner. Should tn
Standard so desire there lis nothing t
prevent its putting the price Of oil up t

Washington was the scere of a bloody
